I am thankful that the folks over at fsb will (hopefully) be on the lookout for any "new" fx startups who also happen to buy pre-populated boards from overseas.
Of course, you don't have to be a rocket scientist to crack open a pedal and realize that it isn't quite as "boutique" as the YouTube video made it look...

i tend to go by website quality when judging pedalmakers, the shittier/charming the better the pedal maker. and he broke the trend.

i like how he kinda wanted to set out to prove that they are the same and kinda went away with proving that the joyo is more versatile, more or less.

Bluesmen the world over are indebted to the great circuit designs of Mr. J. Wong, whether or not they may be aware of it...

I've seen a bunch of Joyo guts in the flesh and the build quality is very poor. I've seen ones with rust, components glued on and a bunch of other strange shit.

No, no.
More resistors = more components = more tone = Red Dot Special
